Making A Booking

Please send your cancellation request to us by email. We need it in writing so that we can confirm that it is coming from you and there is no misunderstanding of what action you want us to take. N.B. Any cancellations or amendments must be made through Skoosh directly and not with the hotel or this may affect any refund due to you.

We currently accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Maestro cards. European debit cards may be used if they contain a Visa logo facility. If you choose to pay by American Express there is an additional charge of 2% to cover the card processing fees.

Immediately after booking you will receive an email from us confirming your booking details and giving you the link to your voucher. Simply print off the voucher and give it to the hotel reception on arrival to prove you've booked and paid through Skoosh.

At the hotels we offer usually not. At other hotels probably, yes. If you simply want to find the cheapest deal in the city then it may be worth your while to keep looking. As with everything in life you can almost always find something 'similar' cheaper.

Yes, where available we offer a full range of hotel special offers and discount deals through our online reservation service including reductions for longer stays, early booking discounts and last minute deals. We don't hide our best rates - any special offers are shown when you enter your travel dates.

Once you've selected the number of guests before searching, the search result will show the price for your room. The price shown gives the total for all persons, inclusive taxes and breakfast (breakfast only if specified). Please note that a small number of hotels charge a resort fee. The hotels ask for these to be paid directly by customers upon check in. When known these will be listed within the description of the hotel or when selecting your room option.

This may depend on whether you are booking in low season ( November to March ) or high season ( April to October ). There may also be times when your preferred dates coincide with major trade fairs or localised events, during which periods hotels often increase the cost of their normally discounted rates to us as room availability is more scarce. We will always endeavour to find you the most competitively priced hotel rooms.

Prices change depending on a whole range of factors so it's not possible to predict. Some hotels offer their best rates far in advance then raise them as rooms fill up. Others leave their rates high until the last minute and then drop them. Our recommendation is to book when you see a price which suits you at the time.

We take payments in British Pounds, Euros, US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Norweigan Krone and Swiss Francs. You would be charged in the currency you select on Skoosh. If yours is different then your bank would convert the amount for you using their daily spot rate. Same would work for refunds and the amount paid and received is then likely to be different. Please note that some banks may charge a small commission fee for international payments.

For legal and safety reasons, many hotels do not accept booking from unaccompanied children and we strongly recommend that you contact us prior to booking, as children under 18 may be refused accommodation if they arrive without a responsible adult.

Check in time at most hotels usually starts around 14:00 onwards to allow the rooms to be cleaned and re-stocked after the previous occupant/s, but some hotels may allow you to check in earlier and most will let you leave your luggage at reception. Your rooms are guaranteed for late arrival. Please note however, that if you fail to check in by 09:00 a.m. the following day, the hotel is under no obligation to keep your room and you will not be refunded.

Check out time is usually around 11:00 a.m., however, please ask at your chosen hotel as they may offer a late check out facility ( this usually carries a small fee.) Most hotels will allow you to leave your luggage at reception and collect it before leaving for the airport.

This is a standard requirement in most hotels worldwide and is only taken as a precaution, so as to guarantee payment of any incidental charges (such as telephone calls, room service etc.). But on check-out, the hotel will usually give you the option of paying by cash instead.

You can request no-smoking rooms as part of your reservation. Please note that it is a request only as few hotels will guarantee this option. For special requirements such as disabled facilities please email us and we will contact the hotel to check if they can accommodate your request.

Continental breakfast will typically consist of croissants, rolls or bread, jams and marmalades, tea / coffee and fruit juices. Buffet breakfast will usually consist of croissants, rolls or bread, salami and other meats, cheeses, yoghurts, cereals, fruit, jams & spreads, tea / coffee and fruit juices. There may also be some hot food choices, such as sausages, eggs and bacon.

Yes, provided you give us a minimum of 48 hours notice so that we can advise the hotel. We will not charge you for making a name change although, very occasionally, the hotels may levy a charge to us. In these cases, we will ask you if you wish to accept the charge before going ahead.

Most of the rooms offered through Skoosh are en-suite, however, we will advise you when they are not by clearly stating 'shared facilities', which means there is a bathroom for your use (but not private) along the corridor from your room.

En-suite facilities always include a shower or a bath, or both, a basin and a WC. Many hotels will not guarantee either a shower or bath specifically but, if you have a preference, please state it when making a booking and we will pass your request on to the hotel.
